Taylor Swift can now shake off that copyright lawsuit

At the beginning of the month we reported that Taylor Swift was being sued for $42m (£27m) for allegedly stealing the lyrics to her hit 2014 song Shake It Off.

US R&B singer Jesse Braham has claimed Taylor Swift stole the words from a song he wrote in 2013 called Haters Gone Hate.

Well now the case has been dismissed out of court. The judge, Gail J Standish, gave the best conclusion to the case, ruling: "At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court. But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them. As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space - one that requires Braham to do more than write his name. And, upon consideration of the Court's explanation in Part II, Braham may discover that mere pleading BandAids will not fix the bullet holes in his case. At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit.

Sorry but what an absolute legend. Someone get this woman her own TV show.
